Soul Map·Dragon's Breath

At daybreak, the door of a guest room opened slightly. His Highness Okas, the most charming third prince of the Opa Empire, came out of the room, and then closed the door softly. With a calm face, he walked back steadily. own room.

The guest room is on the west side, and the prince's room is on the east side. Orcas calmly walked through the hall of the palace and returned to his room on the third floor on the east side. Saying hello, the gaze stayed on the obvious daily clothes worn by His Highness the Third Highness.Their third prince came from the west guest room early in the morning in a suit of daily clothes. What does this mean? !

Not caring at all what kind of shock he would cause in the palace, Okas returned to his room and took a shower to wash away the restlessness of a sleepless night, and then changed into a prince and went downstairs to have breakfast.But while he was changing, he looked down at his stomach for a long time.

Kings and queens usually don't sleep in.Every day at 07:30, the two will get up for breakfast, but they never ask their children to accompany them to eat.However, except for Lan Lu, everyone else got up early to have dinner with the two elders, after all, they were not there every day.

When Orcas appeared in the palace restaurant, all the people present stared at him with scrutiny and curiosity, even the king and queen had curious expressions on their faces.

"Father, Queen Mother, good morning."

"Good morning, Orcas," said the King and Queen in unison.

"Good morning, Your Highness Orcas." It was Ambu who also got up early.

Lan Lu and Boya didn't show up, and of course Xia Qi didn't show up either.

Orcas nodded to the others again, "Good morning."

"Good morning." There was malicious intent in Belevin's eyes, and Wen Lian stared at Okas with a half-smile.

Okas sat down as usual, laid out the napkin, and the servant brought him a hearty breakfast.

Last night because of the incident with the dagger, he returned to the palace very late, and King Fan Wei, who had a two-hour meeting with his staff after returning, swept away the haze of the previous day, pretended to cough twice as the opening remarks, and asked with a smile: "O Cass, I heard from Charlie that you slept in the west guest room last night?"

Anbu ate quietly with his head down, not daring to raise his eyes.

Orcas said calmly, "I went to the garden and just happened to come over there."

"Is that so?" The king couldn't believe it. "Why are you suddenly interested in going to the garden?"

Orcas replied calmly: "I will change occasionally. Father, I am hungry."

"..." The king glanced at his wife and had to temporarily suppress his curiosity.

Orcas concentrated on eating, but the others were not.Wen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "Anbu, when you got up, did you go to see if Xia Qi was up?"

Anbu's body visibly shook, he shook his head and said, "No, he usually doesn't sleep well, so I just..."

The queen said: "I heard from Lulu that Xia Qi's child is prone to insomnia, today is the weekend, let him sleep well. Didn't Lulu and Boya wake up too?"

After the meeting last night, the Queen liked Xia Qi very much.The king also knew about the hand kiss and said, "I also heard that Lan Lu said his roommate several times. He is a very special person. I would like to meet him."

The queen smiled and said, "It is indeed a special child, you should meet it." Then, she said with emotion: "The relationship between the four children is so good, so I am relieved."

"Yes." The king agreed.

Okas didn't say a word, but Wen Lian didn't intend to let him go. He said, "Auntie, Xia Qi often suffers from insomnia and may get up late in the morning, but his health is very poor and he has to eat three meals a day. Now, why don't I ask him to get up for breakfast, after which he can go back to catch up on sleep."

The queen couldn't help asking: "Is he in poor health? When I saw him last night, I thought he was too thin and his complexion was not good."

"Well, he hasn't been feeling well lately."

When the queen heard this, she wanted to call Xia Qi up for breakfast.At this time someone said: "Let him sleep, he will get up when he is hungry."

"Shua!" Except for Anbu, everyone's eyes were focused on the person who spoke.Orcas cuts off a steak, pays attention to it, and eats it, as if he didn't say the sentence just now.

"Your Majesty!" The clerk hurried in from the outside, first saluted the two His Majesties and the two Highnesses, then walked to King Fan Wei, bent down and whispered a few words in the King's ear, His Highness's expression immediately changed. changed.

Taking off the napkin on his body, he turned to his wife and said, "I have something to deal with here."

"You go, I'll have someone bring breakfast to your study."

The king kissed the queen's face, and then said to Bravin, Orcas, Cassin and Wen Lian, "Go to my study after dinner."

"Yes."

King Fanwei left the table first, and the queen watched her husband leave, then turned her head and gave the children a helpless smile, "Finish before going over."

Belevin and Wen Lian stopped pressing Okas.After eating breakfast quietly, the four hugged the queen one by one, and went to the study.Ambu was the only one left at the table, which was very embarrassing.However, a few gentle inquiries from the queen dispelled Ambu's embarrassment.After dinner, the queen invited Ambu to accompany her to the garden, and Anbu accepted the order gladly.

In the study, King Fan Wei's face was as ugly as it could be.In addition to the secretary, there are several other important ministers of the kingdom in the study.After the four of Orcas came in, King Fan Wei said with a dark face, "That person transferred all the money in the account, and I don't know where it went."

Bo Leiwen and Wen Lian immediately frowned, which meant that the other party transferred to a very anonymous account, so they disappeared.

"That person is really careful." That's all Wen Lian could say.

Belevin sighed, "Now that all the clues are gone, that person may have left the capital."

Okas didn't make a sound, and everyone looked at him in unison, including King Fanwei.Don't look at Belevin as the eldest prince, but in the royal family, Orcas' words carry more weight than his.Bravin was not unhappy, his younger brother was more suitable to be a king than him.

Okas pretended to be thinking, and after a while, he said, "Father, the only thing we can do now is to wait and wait for the other party to come up with the same blueprint. Since he is so careful, it means that he doesn't want to get involved Either of us. Unless he shows up, it will be difficult for us to find him. We have already expended so much energy on that blueprint, I don't think we should invest a lot of energy in finding that person. If he is an ordinary Man, that amount of money is enough for him to spend his whole life, and he doesn't need to take any more risks."

"Just let him go like this?" King Fanwei was not reconciled.

Okcas said calmly: "So, we can only wait. The initiative is in his hands. Versailles missed the best opportunity, and we have tried our best."

"Ivan, that idiot!" King Fanwei was so angry that even the owner of Versailles scolded him.

Bo Levin said: "Okas is right. The matter has come to an end, we can only wait for him to appear again. Now that the clues are all cut off, I don't think it's useless to send people to guard each business. He can pretend to be Others buy things from businesses in other places, even on the black market. It is impossible for us to search every place in the capital.”

King Fan Wei knocked on the table, really unwilling.

"Father, if you really don't want to, then you might as well keep an eye on the other four families. I don't think the Tony King family will give up anyway."

King Fanwei raised his eyebrows, and Bolevin nodded, "Yes, it's better to keep an eye on the Tony King family."

After thinking about it, King Fanwei said: "That's it. But the royal family can't let go completely. Ocas, I have to work hard for you. Bolevin, you can help me during this period of time in the capital. Orcas."

"I will, Father."

Things are already like this, King Fan Wei can only accept it no matter how unwilling he is.King Fan Wei still had state affairs to discuss with his ministers, so the four young men left first.Although Okas is the candidate for the next king, King Fan Wei will not arrange too many things for him. After all, Okas still needs to focus on cultivation now.

After leaving the study, Belevin became unruly again. He put his arms around Orcas' shoulders and said grimly, "Occas, I can't believe that you happened to pass by the guest room when you came back from the garden."

Okas pulled his brother's hand and remained silent.

"Wen Lian, do you see who it is?" Bo Leiwen immediately looked at Wen Lian.

Wen Lian rubbed his chin and boldly guessed: "Ocas, you didn't spend the night in Xia Qi's room last night, did you?"

Bolevin's mouth opened wide, and even Kai Xin was visibly surprised.

Okas glanced at Wen Lian, and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to the training room." After saying that, he strode away.

Wen Lian stared blankly at Okas walking away, then turned around and said to Bo Leiwen and his elder brother in astonishment, "He didn't deny it?!"

Belevin, who still didn't believe it, gasped instantly.

"He didn't deny it!" Bravin's rough voice resounded throughout the corridor.

Okas, who had already walked away, only paused slightly, and then walked towards the training room without changing his pace.

How long has it been since you slept so contentedly?Xia Qi woke up from a deep sleep, although his stomach was making protesting noises, but he still hugged the quilt and didn't want to get up.If you ask Xia Qi what the happiest thing is now, he will definitely say that he has a good sleep, and he sleeps until he wakes up naturally!

Rolling on the bed a few times, Xia Qi was so hungry that he couldn't take it anymore, so Xia Qi reluctantly left the bed.Sure enough, it was right to tell senior Okas about those troubles.The most important thing is that Senior Orcas can give him a lot of help he desperately needs!See, once there is no pressure and psychological burden, and someone helps him, he can sleep well!

Stretching a lot, Xia Qi went to wash his face and brush his teeth.After changing his clothes, he first sent a message to Anbu, telling him that he was up.Soon, his identity ring rang, Xia Qi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he answered with a smile.

"Senior Orcas."

"Woke up?"

"Um."

"Come to the restaurant."

"it is good."

Shaggy put on his shoes and went straight to the restaurant.It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and Xia Qi's stomach was growling, hungry.Out of the corridor, I met a servant of the palace. As soon as the other party heard that he was going to the restaurant, he immediately took him there.As soon as he entered the restaurant, Xia Qi was taken aback, why is everyone here?

"Did you sleep well last night?" Wen Lian asked with a smile.

Not seeing the deep meaning behind Wen Lian's smile, Xia Qi replied with a smile: "Well, very good."

"That's good." Wen Lian looked at Okas meaningfully.

"Xia Qi, it's great that you don't have insomnia at last." Lan Lu, who still didn't know anything, was very happy that Xia Qi could sleep well.

"Come and eat, you must be hungry." Boya called Xia Qi over.

Xia Qi walked over and sat down beside Boya, and someone immediately brought him a cup of fruit tea specially made by the palace.Several people were there, Xia Qi asked curiously: "Did you just wake up too?"

Wen Lian still smiled and said, "No, we are here for afternoon tea." After that, he raised his teacup.

Lan Ludao: "Anbu said you got up, and my cousin said to have afternoon tea and accompany you together."

Xia Qi was very touched and said, "Thank you, Senior Wen Lian."

"You're welcome."

There was a flash of sympathy in Belevin's eyes, how could this kid be more deceitful than the younger brother?He looked at Orcas who looked the same as before and was too silent on the surface. He couldn't believe that the person Orcas liked was Xia Qi, and he couldn't wait to take him to bed.Is it true that "people cannot judge by their appearance"?Bravin wanted to help his forehead.Looking at the way Xia Qi faced Orcas, it seemed that Orcas "deceived" him!Bravin couldn't believe that his younger brother would do such a thing!

Afternoon tea refreshments and Shaggy's meals were served quickly.Refreshments are things like cakes and bread.Shaggy's meal consisted of a grilled fish, some bread, a bowl of broth, and two pieces of fruit.The diet of the Opa Empire is a bit like a combination of Chinese and Western, there are parts that are eaten alone, and there are parts that everyone shares.And the dishes will not be served one by one in the order of starter, soup, main course, dessert, etc., but all in one go.Only Shaggy eats alone, so his meal is served separately.

Seeing that it was fried three-fin fish, Xia Qi opened the napkin and put it in his collar.Trifin fish is a relatively expensive fish with fresh and tender meat, but the skin has a high fat content and is prone to dripping oil.Xia Qi didn't want to get his clothes dirty, so he pinned the napkin in his collar.Although people here eat in no order, Xia Qi still maintains the habits of his previous life, and this is the palace restaurant, Xia Qi has unconsciously paid attention to the etiquette on the table, not as in the dormitory or school cafeteria. casual.He ate bread and soup first.The soup was bouillon, and the bread was served with butter sauce. Shaggy embarrassedly asked the servant of the restaurant not far away to bring him a cranberry sauce.

Shaggy drinks soup before the jam is brought.The portion of the soup is not much, Xia Qi scooped it from inside to outside with the spoon, and then wiped the bottom of the spoon lightly on the edge of the plate to prevent the soup from dripping from the bottom of the spoon.The soup was still a little hot, so he didn't blow it, but waited for the soup to cool down naturally.When it was ready to drink, Xia Qi brought it to his mouth, and there was no sound during the whole process.

At this time, the cranberry was brought, and Xia Qi apologized to the other party.Putting down the spoon, he picked up the bread and tore off a piece, then spread the jam, and after he finished eating with his mouth shut, he tore off another piece.After eating two small breads, the soup left only one soup base—because he couldn’t hold the bowl to drink—Xia Qi started to eat fried fish.First pick up the green petal fruit among the two fruits, Xia Qi peels off the skin, and peels off a petal. In fact, the green petal fruit is a kind of orange. Without lemon, Xia Qi can only use this instead.

Squeeze the juice of the green leaf fruit on the fried fish, wipe his hands with a damp cloth, then Xia Qi picked up the knife and fork, and the first step was to remove the fish bones.Xia Qi was so hungry, all his attention was on eating, and he didn't realize that other people's attention was all on him.Skillfully removing the big fish bone and putting it aside, Xia Qi cut off a piece of fish, forked it, brought it to his mouth, and then squinted his eyes in satisfaction, as expected of a palace chef, it was delicious.

Quickly and without breaking the etiquette, Xia Qi put the pieces of fish into his mouth.After eating a small piece of fish bone, Shaggy covered his mouth with a napkin, spat the bone onto the fork, and put it with the ones he had just picked out.During the whole process, Xia Qi's table manners made people from the royal family and noble families like Bo Leiwen and Wen Lian dumbfounded.

The dinner the night before was shared by everyone, and Xia Qi was not in the mood to eat it, so Belevin has not discovered his table manners... Orcas and Wen Lian had dinner with Xia Qi, and they discovered it at the time Xia Qi ate very elegantly, but it was the first time seeing him so formally.Yes, it's official!But at this time, watching Xia Qi eat, everyone just felt an indescribable enjoyment.

Isn't it good to pick up the bread and eat it directly?Why do you drip the juice of green petals on the fried fish?The soup is hot, can't you blow it directly?Also, isn't the sauce all spread on the bread at once?But it cannot be denied that Xia Qi's appearance of tearing off pieces and eating them is really elegant.

A whole piece of fried fish went into Xia Qi's stomach, and Xia Qi wiped his mouth contentedly, it was so delicious.Putting down the knife and fork, after the servants took the plate and the knife and fork, Xia Qi ate the remaining green fruit one by one, and there was one litta, which he didn't move and couldn't eat anymore.He took off the napkin, folded it and put it aside, Xia Qi touched his stomach, it was full.

"Shack."

Satisfied, Xia Qi had time to raise his eyes, and then blinked. What was Lan Lu's expression?

Lan Lu frowned and asked, "Why did you drip the juice of the green petal fruit on the fish?"

Oh, this one!Xia Qi said: "This can eliminate some fishy smell and make the taste better."

"Huh? How do you know?"

"Uh..." Xia Qi laughed dryly, "I discovered it by accident, you can try it next time."

"I'm definitely going to try."

Bo Levin also wanted to ask something, but someone said a step ahead of him: "Let's go after eating."

Thinking it was time to go back to school, Xia Qi stood up immediately.Belevin glanced at Orcas dissatisfiedly, and said, "There's still an hour left, what's the rush?"

Orcas got up and walked out, saying, "I don't like being late."

Only then did Xia Qi hear something strange, and asked Lan Lu, "Didn't you go back to school?"

Lan Lu immediately thought of what the Wang brothers said before, and he said excitedly: "No, Wang brothers and the others are going to compete, let's go and see together!"

"Competition?" Xia Qi became interested in an instant, "With whom?"

"Several people, tell you on the way, go!" Seeing that Brother Sanwang had disappeared, Lan Lu took Boya with one hand and Xia Qi with the other, and hurriedly chased after him.

Belevin, who was lagging behind, asked Wen Lian thoughtfully: "Is he really an 'orphan' from Sesera?" That eating is obviously more elegant than theirs, okay?Even he, a prince, doesn't know that he can still eat like that!

Wen Lian replied "truthfully", "That's what's written on his identity column."

But there was obvious suspicion in the eyes of Bravin and Wen Lian.Kai Xin said lightly: "Let's go. Whether it has nothing to do with you."

Bravin's heart trembled, and he put his arms around Kaixin's waist, "I'm just a little curious. You have to cheer for me in a while! If I don't lose a game today, you have to give me a "reward." Oh, you can't Let my dear misunderstand.

Kaixin smiled slightly, "If you lose a game, I'll move back home tonight."

"I will never let this happen!"

Wen Lian rubbed his arms and took a step first, he was so numb!
